heritage, memory, and the body

Artbooth Gallery is pleased to present Heritage, Memory, and the Body,a group exhibition featuring the works of four distinguished Palestinian women artists: Rania Amoudi, Dina Matar, Fatima Abu Rumi, and Marwa Alnajjar. Curated by Rula Dughman, this exhibition also stands as a tribute to the role of visionary curators in shaping spaces of memory and cultural continuity. On view from September 18 to October 31, 2025, at Artbooth Gallery Abu Dhabi, the exhibition unfolds as a lyrical meditation on identity, displacement, and the enduring language of the female form.

In a time when the voices of Arab women artists are becoming increasingly central to cultural discourse, these four artists offer a powerful and resonant alternative to static portrayals of femininity and nationhood. While their work is grounded in place, it resists the constraints of borders, following a shared instinct to reclaim the female figure as a vessel of memory, heritage, and quiet resistance.
